Friendly Advice For Joe Biden: Talk About Early Education and Care and Caring For The Elderly More

Joe Biden has plans for early childhood education and care along with the care of older Americans. My advice would be he should make that his closing argument. Tonight, at the debate he should ignore Trump and say something like this.

“I am here tonight to talk to the American people. I know what it is like to be a single dad taking care of children. I know what it like to take care of elderly parents. And I know what it is like to be a parent whose sons are batting illnesses like cancer and drug addiction. It is an exhausting struggle. Many of you are in the same struggle. Struggling to care for your children, your older family members, and your sick loved ones. This struggle is made even harder by COVID-19. I want to help you. Under a Biden Harris administration we will  mobilize American talent and heart to build a 21st century caregiving and education workforce which will help ease the burden of care for working parents, especially women. As a first step, I will immediately work with Congress provide states, tribal, and local governments with the fiscal relief they need to keep workers employed and keep vital public services running, including direct care and early childhood education and care services. I will work with Congress to support informal caregivers – family members or loved ones who do this work unpaid, including a $5,000 tax credit for informal caregivers, Social Security credits for people who care for their loved ones, and professional and peer support for caregivers of wounded, injured, or ill active duty service members and veterans.

I will raise taxes on people making more than $400,000 and invest $450 billion of that money into programs that give more people the choice to receive care at home or in supportive community situations, or to have that choice for their loved ones. This election is not about Donald Trump. It is about you and your family. What this pandemic has reminded us all is what is important in life and it is not Twitter or TV Ratings. It is our loved ones. And I will do my damnedest to do whatever I can to make sure you and your loved ones are properly cared for. We are all in this together and I know if we can all come together we can love each other and work to end the crisis of the pandemic, addiction, and lack of care givers. We can work to heal each other. When we work together there is nothing we can’t do because we are the United States of America and we are the greatest country in the world. Thank you, god bless you. I yield the rest of my time tonight to President Trump. “
